YouTube - Twilight Landing At LAX (Cockpit View) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKXf2gZRFVQ)
Only just been made aware of this - thought it was excellent (apart from the music, but you can mute that). Apols if it has already been posted.
To quote from the text - The video is sped up to somewhere between Mach 1 and Mach 2. The original idea was to a) compress a 30 minute approach into three minutes; and b) to see what it would look like if you you were riding on the back of a cruise missile.
The camera was a Canon S95 which is a great pocket low light camera. This video simply wouldn't have been possible with any other pocket camera. If you want a great travel camera, be sure to check it out.
The video was shot in 720p at 24 FPS. I'm not sure why YouTube dumbed it down but I'll see if I can correct that. It's stunning in HD.
The camera was mounted via a small tripod with velcro out of our way and line of site. Ultrapod I think it's called. Nothing fancy.
